All (Okay Some) of your Chips are Belong to Me

Hasan Habib just picked off almost a million of Phil Ivey's chips, this time by uncharacteristically calling on the river.

Hasan opened for 260K. Phil called.
Flop came A-3-8.
Both checked.
Turn was a nine.
Hasan bet 300K. Phil called.
River was another nine.
Hasan checked. Phil bet 400K. Hasan called.
Hasan showed A-7. Phil didn't show.

Hasan's got gears, man. He's made most of his money by betting strong until he meets resistance and then getting out of the way. Just now, though, he got Phil to bet into him, and called him down. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and this cat knows 'em all.
